BILL MAHER BLASTS ‘AMERICAN SNIPER,’ CALLS CHRIS KYLE A ‘PSYCHOPATH PATRIOT’
Daily Beast ^ | 1/24/15

Posted on 01/24/2015 4:03:00 AM PST by SoFloFreeper

....On Friday’s episode of his HBO series Real Time with Bill Maher, the outspoken satirist pondered whether Kyle was a “hero or not,” and revealed he’s decidedly anti-American Sniper.

“Hurt Locker made $17 million because it was a little ambiguous, and thoughtful,” Maher said. “And this one was just, ‘American hero! He’s a psychopath patriot, and we love him.’”

Tiny little Billy Maher, “Hey, notice me.”

Here's what C.S. Lewis said about the "Commandment not to Kill" (and I agree with him)...
“Does loving your enemy mean not punishing him?.... It is, therefore, in my opinion, perfectly right for a Christian judge to sentence a man to death or a Christian soldier to kill an enemy. I always have thought so, ever since I became a Christian, and long before the war, and I still think so now that we are at peace.

It is no good quoting “Thou shalt not kill.” There are two Greek words: the ordinary word to kill and the word to murder. And when Christ quotes that commandment He uses the murder one in all three accounts, Matthew, Mark, and Luke. And I am told there is the same distinction in Hebrew. All killing is not murder any more than all sexual intercourse is adultery. ...the Christian in arms for the defense of a good cause - is one of the great Christian ideas. War is a dreadful thing, and I can respect an honest pacifist, though I think he is entirely mistaken.” (Mere Christianity, p. 106, 107)

I don't think we should lower ourselves to the same level of evil. But I also don't think we should adopt Rules of Engagement which prevent us from winning the war.

Letting our evil enemy win is, in some ways, tantamount to adopting his evil if only because we permit it to continue to exact its price on our own soldiers.

Some of the few things that make me question Gd is why he made cockroaches, death of children, and Bill Maher.

Unlike Maher, Kyle is indeed a patriot and NOT a psychopath.

If you were in a desperate fight for my life, say a Jew in the Warsaw Ghetto 1944, who would you at your side, Bill Maher or Chris Kyle?

Correction:
If you were in a desperate fight for your life, say a Jew in the Warsaw Ghetto 1944, who would you want by your side?
Bill Maher or Chris Kyle?

Maher is despicable. He’s a sorry excuse for humanity. I know Jesus asked me to love my enemies; I know he wants me to forgive; I know that he doesn’t want me to make fun of idiots, never mind hate someone; I know we are all sinners and have our faults; but C’MON GOD, this man is insufferable.

Little Billy claims to be libertarian. He’s a psychopathic libertarian on the totalitarian end of the political spectrum.

He does not have much to say about his hero, Dear Reader, taking out enemies with drones.

In the last days those faithful to the name of Jesus have a choice. Those who live by the sword, die by the sword, and those who decide not to die become slaves.

One is not held in higher esteem, I think, because anyone willing to die in defense of someone else is practicing the greatest love or giving your life for your friends.

To most liberals this is incomprehensible and, therefore, seems psychopathic. The wrath of God would also be seen in this manner which is why they disregard the law and don’t understand the God who is the mama of all mama grizzlies.

Bill Maher is as repugnant a supporter of America’s enemies as Lord Haw Haw was.

And what has Bill Maher ever done besides piles of drugs?

I hope Bill Maher finds the godless society he so desperately views as utopian where all things Judeo-Christian are despised ... I just hope that society never evolves from the U.S.A. ... and I hope he lives a very very long life so he can "enjoy" living in that hopeless and helpless state long enough to wise up.

Looks like this little, ugly weasel saw all of the attention that Tub of Guts Moore was getting and decided that he needed to jump on the bus wearing his “Please pay attention to me” t-shirt. I say punish the little troll and those of his ilk by just ignoring them.

Other than cherry-picking a few ambiguous quotes from Kyle’s autobiography, I seriously doubt Maher saw the movie nor read the book. He is a fake.

A psychopath is Bill Maher that insults a dead man like this.

Bill Maher wouldn't know a psychopath if he were standing next to him:
